On August 17th, Daqing Petrochemical's 50,000-ton/year 1-hexene/1-octene co-production unit, which had been in operation for 20 days, maintained stable operating indicators. This is a vivid example of Daqing Petrochemical's implementation of the Group's mid-year work conference directives, driven by technological innovation, to accelerate the formation of its overall "Refining, Chemicals, Biomass, and Fine Chemicals" layout.
Focusing on key technologies such as α-olefins, the company is conducting research on comprehensive resource utilization, extending into high-end new materials and fine chemicals; promoting the expansion and improvement of metallocene polyethylene, creating a high-end product system; deepening the "Artificial Intelligence+" special action, connecting with the Kunlun large-scale model, promoting the replacement of 13 systems with information technology innovation, and accelerating the transition to a "lights-out factory" model. To date, the company's R&D intensity has reached 2.21%, and new material output has increased by 40% year-on-year.
Optimizing mechanisms to activate the driving force of technological innovation. The company has improved its "challenge-based" and "project manager" models, strengthened innovation platforms such as model worker and youth innovation studios, and fostered a strong atmosphere of "encouraging innovation and tolerating failure." It has also strengthened the construction of a talent pool for scientific and technological innovation, relying on major scientific research projects for practical training, deepening mentorship and performance evaluation models, and forging a tiered and continuous innovation talent team to ensure that "capable individuals take the lead and strong performers become the main players."
Focusing on implementation, the company has delivered a strong start. Adhering to a "one-plant-one-policy" approach, the company has thoroughly analyzed operational shortcomings by benchmarking against historical best parameters and systematically addressed each deficiency. Practicing the "molecular refining" concept, the company has proactively secured winter reserves of low-pour-point diesel fuel and stabilized the quality of products such as aviation kerosene and petroleum coke. Focusing on the high-efficiency market, the company has increased production of profitable products such as synthetic ammonia and streamlined high-value-added production and sales channels. Relying on the newly launched work permit risk management platform, special operations have achieved full-process digital closed-loop management.
